The Bishop's Daughter

I.

K ILLAIA'S halls are proud and fair;
Tyrawley's hills are cold and bare;
Yet, in the palace, you were sad,
While, here, your heart is safe and glad.

II.

No satin couch, no maiden train,
Are here to soothe each passing pain;
Yet lay your head my breast upon, —
'Twill turn to down for you, sweet one!

III.

Your father's halls are rich and fair,
And plain the home you've come to share;
But happy love's a fairy king,
And sheds a grace on every thing.
